After several years of marriage, Kevin Bacon and his wife Kyra discovered that they are related.

A couple never gets to know each other, not even after many years of relationship. Sometimes one person surprises another with something trivial or unimportant, for example: a hidden taste in music, a hidden mole on the skin, or a favorite drink. However, there are times when the surprise is so impressive that everything can change, for better or for worse.

This happened to the happy couple formed by Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedwick who, after many years of marriage, discovered that they were cousins. O awesome.club will tell this story in detail. Come with us!

Kevin Bacon and his wife Kyra Sedgwick met on the set of Lemon Sky. They married in 1988 and have since shared screens in films such as Murder in the First, The Woodsman and Obsession. The couple has two children, Travis Bacon Sedgwick (born 1989) and Sosie Ruth Bacon (born 1992).

They form one of the most admirable couples in Hollywood. The two actors, multifaceted and extremely talented, have already played countless protagonists and other characters from various genres, ranging from comedy to suspense, and are undoubtedly very dear to their admirers.

In addition, they are one of the longest-lived couples in Hollywood, because even after 30 years of marriage, the love between them continues to be perceived in the open. “We never finished getting to know each other,” Kyra Sedgwick has stated on several occasions.

Even if they are free from celebrity gossip, ten years ago they were in for a real surprise. The couple went to a famous American show called Finding Your Roots, in which they explore the curiosities and surprising ancestry of the most famous screen personalities, who end up discovering incredible stories in their own families.

These two lovers never suspected that their ancestors were linked and that somehow they would end up finding themselves cousins.

A DNA test confirmed the suspicion. That’s when they discovered that Bacon’s family ancestors go back to Bristol, England. The famous actor also discovered that King Edward I, the so-called “Hammer of the Scots”, who fought William Wallace, was actually his 22nd grandfather.

In other surprising revelations, they also discovered that Bacon was Brad Pitt’s 13th cousin.

However, the impressive discovery was that Kyra Sedgwick knew her ninth cousin, who turned out to be none other than her own husband, Kevin Bacon! While the Footloose actor wasn’t all that surprised, Kyra admitted it was a bit of a disturbing piece of information.

But none of that made any difference in the relationship, as they decided to face everything in a more relaxed way. Kyra then said that the discovery wasn’t all that important, as long as they weren’t first cousins.

Thus, despite the controversy, they remain a unique couple and two of the most beloved celebrities by all of us.
